When Ji Han and his men traveled to the Three Kingdoms crew

Chapter 77 Today I know what is righteousness

"Liu Bei."

Ma Xiong looked at Liu Bei and the people behind him, his face becoming increasingly gloomy. He shouted sternly, "Liu Taishou! What do you mean by this? Holding a sharp blade, inciting the people, are you planning a rebellion?"

Liu Bei said coldly: "I want you to understand. Let me ask you. You only need to answer yes or no. Robbery, insulting other people's wives and daughters, hurting other people's mothers, and doing inappropriate things to children and young men. Do you have any objection to these bastards?"

When Ma Xiong heard this, he was immediately furious: "Who is talking nonsense? How could I possibly do something indecent to a child?"

"Very good." Liu Bei looked at him as if he were a dead person.

Ma Xiong was not afraid of this at all. He laughed out loud, "Liu Bei! You are just a governor, and I am an official of the Left Governor. I am the Left Governor's man. Even if he really did it, what can I do? Who dares to kill me!!!"

"I dare to kill you!"

Liu Bei suddenly jumped up, like a sword drawn from its sheath. The cold light from his blade made Ma Xiong tremble with fear, and the hairs on his body stood on end!

This Liu Bei is serious!
At this moment, all of Ma Xiong's pride was destroyed, and he hurriedly shouted: "Quickly stop Liu Bei for me, there will be a huge reward, hurry!"

When the gatekeepers heard about the bounty, their greed instantly overwhelmed their fear.

They held swords and weapons in their hands, protecting the horse bear.

The horse bear turned around and ran away.

However, the sound coming from behind Ma Xiong was like the collapse of mountains. He turned his head and his pupils shrank sharply. All the guards who followed him were gone. They were all knocked down and drowned in the crowd in the blink of an eye.

He was horrified.

Liu Bei and his brother Zhang Fei were following closely behind him and were about to catch up.

"clang--"

A crisp sound was heard, and Ma Xiong felt a chill on his neck, and the pain instantly engulfed him.

"It hurts..."

The horse bear fell to the ground, screaming loudly, covering his neck and twisting like a maggot.

"Wait a minute."

A strange voice sounded.

"who are you?"

Liu Bei stared coldly at the person who suddenly appeared and saved Ma Xiong.

This man was eight feet tall, wearing a long robe, and had an ordinary appearance.

"Greetings, Lord Liu. I am the military commander Bian Yuan."

Bian Yuan bowed deeply to Liu Bei, but was amazed in his heart. Lord Liu was too strong. His sword was knocked away and his wrist was hurting. If it weren't for the reminder from Brother Yunchang and Mr. Fazheng, I would have died here.

"Bian Yuan?" Ma Xiong shouted as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw, "General, save me, Liu Bei, Liu Bei is rebelling! Liu Bei wants to kill the officials of the prefecture!"

"Shut up!" Bian Yuan shouted angrily.

Ma Xiong's expression froze.

Zhang Fei asked, "Aren't you and Ma Xiong the same kind of people? What is your purpose?"

Bian Yuan was afraid of being misunderstood when he saw this, so he quickly said, "To be honest, I was entrusted by Brother Yunchang and Mr. Fazheng. Lord Liu, don't you think that killing Ma Xiong with your own hands will dirty your hands? According to Mr. Fazheng's plan, Zuo Chang can get rid of him. Besides, the people have already suffered, and now is the time to stop the loss. Please follow me to Ma Xiong's house. I believe Mr. Fazheng and Brother Yunchang have collected all the evidence and stolen money."

Bian Yuan's words were like a basin of cold water poured on Liu Bei's head, and his anger immediately subsided a lot. He heard about Fa Zheng and Yun Chang. Was all this caused by these two people?

Zhang Fei also advised: "Brother, I don't think this man is lying. What do you think we should do?"

Liu Bei exhaled the hot air from his mouth and replied: "Let's go and take a look!"

So the crowd tied up the horse bear, stuffed its mouth with rags, and threw him into the prison van.

As for the owner of the tavern, he was found to be fine after being diagnosed by Hua Tuo's most proud disciple Wu Pu.

Along the way, the people smashed rotten vegetable leaves on the horse bear's forehead. The rotten vegetable leaves were mixed with stones, which broke the horse bear's head. They came to the horse bear's house.

Just as Bian Yuan said, Fa Zheng and Guan Yu just happened to come out.

Liu Bei hasn't spoken yet.

"thump"

Fa Zheng knelt down directly in front of Liu Bei.

"My Lord, I really shouldn't have lied to you. I deserve to die."

Guan Yu also said: "Brother, this matter is all my fault."

Liu Bei looked at Fa Zheng who bowed his head and admitted his mistake. The words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat. He could only glare at the two of them and said, "I'll talk to you when we get back."

He squatted down and helped Fa Zheng up, and asked, "And what did you do?"

Fa Zheng's eyes were filled with guilt. He whispered, "My Lord, to be honest, Ma Xiong is a ruthless official. During my investigation with my second brother, we found that the evil things he did were truly shocking."

"Without the support of the Left Governor, how could he be so arrogant?"

"So I wanted to use public opinion to organize people to petition and appeal for justice."

"The state government will definitely drive them away. Given the lord's temperament, he will definitely come forward. At this time, with the support of public opinion, all corrupt officials headed by Ma Xiong will be arrested, their property will be confiscated, and distributed to the people."

"Finally, I wrote a letter to Zuo Chang, saying, 'I don't think this man's evil deeds have anything to do with Envoy Zuo, but I have something that may cause Your Majesty to misunderstand. If Your Majesty doesn't want to make things worse, I hope that the food and grass that should be given will be replenished as soon as possible. After all, Your Majesty doesn't want those things to appear in front of His Majesty, right?'"

"In this way, the lord will surely win the hearts of the people and have a good reputation in the eyes of the nobles. Although it will provoke Zuo Chang, will Zuo Chang let us go without money? Obviously not. In this way, according to Zuo Chang's temperament, he will definitely be afraid of us before taking action, and it is very likely that we can get the food and grass."

After hearing Fa Zheng's words, Liu Bei couldn't help but be shocked. He really underestimated Fa Zheng. It was rare for someone so young to come up with such an idea.

But having said that, the 25-year-old Liu Bei still felt a little uncomfortable with manipulating the people's hearts.

and many more.

Liu Bei suddenly remembered something, "Xiaozhi, is there anything about Ma Chao and Ma Dai?"

Fa Zheng nodded, "Yes, after all, it is easy to organize the people. The best way is to make them cry out in misery. I will throw the dirty water of liking children and young men on Ma Xiong, and let my second brother push Ma Chao to wander in front of the people who have lost their children, especially the elderly."

Hearing this, Liu Bei took a breath and was about to speak.

Fa Zheng said quietly, "It doesn't have to be like this. Who would have thought that I would meet Mr. Bian Yuan? Mr. Bian Yuan brought me good news. My Lord, do you know that Zuo Chang's most beloved youngest son is about the same age as Zhenghe and Mengqi?"

"Ma Xiong and Zuo Chang's youngest son have a very special relationship."

"If there's a chance to kill a horse bear, why not do it?"

Fa Zheng smiled at Liu Bei and looked harmless.

He shouted again: "Gentlemen, my name is Ma Zheng. My brother Ma Chao and I were kidnapped by Ma Xiong into his house. I found the secret room in Ma Xiong's house, which contained the money he had robbed, so he wanted to kill me! Thanks to the help of Liu Fujun's brother Guan Duwei, I was able to escape. In order to repay his kindness, I wanted to give all the money to Liu Fujun, but Liu Fujun flatly refused. He said, 'A real man should not take ill-gotten gains! It is better to return it to the people!' I am really ashamed, so please cooperate with Guan Duwei and quickly distribute the money!"

When the people heard this, they looked at each other in bewilderment. Thinking of Liu Bei's determination to stand up for them, even the most stubborn people sighed with admiration: "After living for more than 20 years, I finally know what true 'righteousness' is."

The horse bear's eyes were red with anger. That was all my money! My money!!!

But worse news came.

The knights from the provincial government hurried over and read out Zuo Chang's decree.

Ma Xiong was a cruel official who oppressed the people, which angered God and the people, so he was sentenced to death by hanging.
